THE SPINE GUIDED TOURS INSTALLATION PERFORMANCE

A living path woven into the earth
inviting the flow of personal visions
to merge with the memories of the land  
molding a collective earth body
that allows the possibility of repair to emerge

Take a day off from the busy concrete and wander through The Spine Guided Tours at Zarlardingas Farm. In the company of water, fire, trees, wool, herbs, animals, rocks, the wind, and a group of humans, you are welcome to immerse yourself within the textures of the living ground of a small forest that is being rewilded and cross the thresholds between skin and soil.

​Serving as a form of socio-environmental acupuncture, this installation performance traces a pathway through land that resembles a living geoglyph. In doing so, it invites us to feel simultaneously entangled with the cosmic, middle, and infra worlds as we release the memories of our spines, merging them deeply with the land's memories. Through this shared experience, we can become (re)generative fibers interwoven into the affective tapestry of the Earth's body.
